contents Digital Archiving and Preservation: Technologies and Processes for a Trusted Repository Jantz, Ronald Giarlo, Michael Electronic Journals Electronic Libraries Archives Preservation Library Role Academic Libraries Reliability Reprography Information Management Technological Advancement Trust (Psychology) Access to Information Long Range Planning Futures (of Society) Information Policy This article examines what is implied by the term "trusted" in the phrase "trusted digital repositories." Digital repositories should be able to preserve electronic materials for periods at least comparable to existing preservation methods. Our collective lack of experience with preserving digital objects and consensus about the reliability of our technological infrastructure raises questions about how we should proceed with digital-based preservation practices, an emerging role for academic libraries and archival institutions. This article reviews issues relating to building a trusted digital repository, highlighting some of the issues raised and possible solutions proposed by the authors in their work of implementing and acculturating a digital repository at Rutgers University Libraries. (Contains 28 notes and 4 figures.)
